Chamber 17 [R2 - Second Release]
Chamber 17 [R2 - Second Release] Chamber 17 from the original Portal game reconstructed by Glados to incorporate new testing elements. Excursion funnels, Thermal Discouragement Beams and Panels. Because of the removal of the High Energy Pellet (which I hated anyway), I have had to change the configuration around abit. Its not a direct copy of Chamber 17 but is only just loosely based on it. --UPDATE-- This is the Second Release (r2) version of the map. It contains a much harder playthrough experience and refined mapping. R2 was release due to feedback from the TWP community. If you want an easier map download the latest version and omit 'r2' from the map command. I have incorporated most feedback; special thanks to: Kibate, SeriousMoh, xdiesp, mickyficky. I am aware there are still numerous graphical glitches. To fix I would have to spend alot of time completely remodling. I would rather put these new skills into creating a newer better map. This map will remain as-is in terms of graphics. Sorry. :'( R2 Screenshots: http://i51.tinypic.com/20sa7fs.png R2 YouTube Playthrough: (Spoiler Warning! Download and play the map first!) Coming Soon!

Strubadur
This coop map features different themes, tricky puzzles and two levels with several testchambers. They contain shredders, crushers, and many of the portal 2 entities we know from the coop campaign. We tested the map a lot so there shouldn't be any bugs, cheating possibilities etc. Any critics are very welcome please leave a message in the [url=http://forums.thinkingwithportals.com/post48171.html?hilit=strubadur#p48171:1xpjmq8u]forum[/url:1xpjmq8u] if you'd like to but keep in mind that this is our first map (we did not have any hammer experience before). Have fun and look at the indicators and signs which help you to solve the puzzles! spliffa & weedbeat Installation instructions: 1. Use 7-zip to extract the package. 2. Copy mp_coop_strubadur.vpk to your Portal 2 addons folder (\SteamApps\common\portal 2\portal2\addons). If it doesn't exists, create it. 3.

[SP] The Ledge
Version 1.8: For some reason the RAR-file was suddenly corrupt and only contained part3. While at it I have also fixed an issue with an unintentionally portable texture. Thanks Tyri!!! Version 1.7: - All parts overhauled. Many thanks to Domathan,zivi7, sicklebrick, Shakky, josepezdj and KengKong for pointing out the issues and exploits. There are still some ninja solutions left which I either found creative enough to leave as is, or weren’t able to fix without rearranging the whole map. Finally found the time to fix the major issues in 274, 275 and 276. Haven't fixed the minor exploits that allow ninja solutions in 272 and 273, yet. Fifth version: sp_the_ledge_v5.rar Still trying to fix the same issue in 274 Fourth version: sp_the_ledge_v4.rar Hopefully the last fix for test chamber 274. Again, thanks El Farmarino! Third version: sp_the_ledge_v3.rar Again fixed an exploit which still allowed to skip an puzzle element. Thanks a lot El Farmarino! Okay here’s the second version: sp_the_ledge_v2.rar - Tried to fix as many exploits as I could. Many thanks to zivi7, sicklebrick, Shakky and KengKong for the vids which were very helpful. You guys are amazing!!! Did not fix ‘exploits’ which I considered to be creative alternative solutions. - Apropos alternative solutions, I decided to go with TaiMai’s alternative for solving 276. I think it’s far better than my initial intended way. Thank you Micah! First of all I have to apologise: These maps are very demanding on the computer hardware. They run smoothly at 1920X1080 with 60fps showing only some minor frame drops at certain areas on an Intel Core i7 2600/2500 K 3.4 GHz computer with 8 GB DDR3 RAM | Gainward GeForce GTX 570 Phantom and ASUS EAH6850. Does not run even with medium settings on an: AMD FX 4100 / 3.6 GHz | 8 GB RAM | ASUS HD 6770. Although the custom materials are embedded using Pakrat, I have also added the materials folder in the RAR-file; just in case somebody experiences problems (especially when recording dem-files) extract/copy the folder to your materials path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\portal 2\portal2\materials Feel free to use any of the custom materials/textures/signage as you like. Should appreciate it very much if you could play the maps in successive order: - Part I: “This Way Up!” - Part II: “The Ledge” - Part III: “Ups & Downs” - Part III: “What Comes First?” Each following map will be automatically loaded at level end. Hope you’ll enjoy playing. Many thanks to josepezdj and MaiTai for all the help and support!

Jumpingjack
My first map for Portal2, lots of try and error style mapping. This map is less puzzly but involves strafing and the right timing. Difficulty: medium There is also a hidden Companion-Cube!

[Coop] Flaming Lemons
TESTED to be 100% compatible with Portal 2 Map Installer. To install this and most other maps easily and automatically download it here: Automated Map Installer This map is a playground for co-op. It includes: - All paint types - Laser - Tractor Beam - Light Bridge - Cube dispensers - World portal weird mirror - Moving portal surfaces - Large room for flinging As well as some things I made myself including a flaming lemon and paint spraying cubes. WINDOWS USERS: To install it just extract the zip file in your SteamApps\Common\Portal 2\portal2\ folder. It should ask you if you want to replace the existing folders, just say yes, it wont actually delete anything. MAC USERS: (thanks chrislb for pointing this out!) 1) Extract the zip folder to anywhere on your computer. Desktop is easy, then you can just delete it afterwards. 2) Copy the files from
